Abstract
⺠Species persistence times (SPT) distributions are studied using two new datasets. ⺠SPT distributions display a power-law shape, also reproduced by our theoretical model. ⺠For the analyzed databases, the spatial effects on SPT distributions are negligible. ⺠We find a connection between SPT distribution and other macroecological patterns. ⺠SPT distributions are a synthetic descriptor of ecosystem biodiversity and dynamics.
